The Dancing Devils of Djibouti

The first album of the Somali group Groupe RTD, released on the New York label Ostinato Records. It combines Somali funk, Indian Bollywood music, Jamaican reggae, Harlem jazz-inspired brass, and Red Sea synthesizer melodies. The album was recorded in three days on a modern mobile studio, but it sounds warm, as if it were recorded decades ago.
